Challenging the Bond Between a Young Mother and Her Son, "Flora and Son" is Heartwarming and Fresh.
A story that is not often told is that of a young mother and the struggles she faces raising a child more than half her age. AppleTV+ has taken a controversial subject, made it palatable and given a host of single moms hope.
"Flora and Son" stars Eve Hewson, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jack Reynor, Orén Kinlan in a film that is just as much about navigating parenthood as it is about finding one's self.
Here's the synopsis:
Single mom Flora (Eve Hewson) is at a loss about what to do with her rebellious teenage son, Max (Orén Kinlan). Encouraged by the police to find Max a hobby, Flora tries to occupy him with a beat-up acoustic guitar. With the help of a washed-up LA musician (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), Flora and Max discover the transformative power of music. From the musical mind of John Carney, “Flora and Son” explores the bond between a mother and son on a journey toward a new harmony.
Directed by John Carney, this eye-opening glimpse into the struggles of parenthood Ross on AppleTV+ September 22.
